Online Service Pairs Students, Mentors

Online Service Pairs Students, Mentors
This was almost a topic of my presentation yesterday, but the talk took a different tack. But it's a simple idea: people - such as subject matter experts or mentors - can be learning objects, located and accessed through a learning object repository system. More...

Did SCO Violate the GPL?
The latest round in the SCO versus Linux saga has some open source advocates arguing that SCO may have copied bits of Linux into its unix software without also attaching the open source license. More...

Learning: More Than Just Knowledge

Learning: More Than Just Knowledge
In this, the fourth in my series of papers for the Australian Flexible Learning Community, I raise the question of how we create learning from online knowledge networks. It has to be something more than just accessing the content, but what? While IMS defines learning design by analogy with a play, I argue that a more appropriate metaphor would be a game. More...

Tomorrow's Online Teachers

Tomorrow's Online Teachers
Slides from an online presentation I delivered this evening (having just returned from Newfoundland) using Groove to the FAME Residential 2003 seminar in Sydney, Australia (with a guest from South Australia also taking part). I look at the promise of technology seen through the lens of my 1998 paper, The Future of Online Learning, talk a bit about how we've drifted, and describe the role of the teacher in the learning environment that will emerge once we're back on track.

Grammar on the way back?

Grammar on the way back?
When teaching logic I found I had to first teach my students how to read.

Business Blogs Provide Edge, Present Challenges

Business Blogs Provide Edge, Present Challenges
Take a perfectly good technology, apply it to the corporate arena, and watch it get ruined. I've seen this pattern before, and if this report from the ClickZ Weblog Business Strategies conference is any indication, I will see it again. Prepared and piloted content, corporate and legal approval, the public relations blog... all these are instances of the belief that bloggers are "writing as represents the company." Sheesh. More...

Data Calls

Data Calls
The IEEE Digital Rights Expression Language (DREL) Working Group "is gathering requirements that a standardized DREL must meet to support learning, education, and training." The group states that it is not seeking to create another rights expression, creating a field for yet another batle betwwen proponents of XrML (who will tell you that the language is free and open, but will omit the fact that they have patents on uses of the language) and backers of the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL).
